These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern the relationship between you and Igglo Operations Oy (“Igglo”) regarding your use of Igglo’s online platform for matching landlords and tenants, including the Igglo website at www.igglo.com as well as associated Igglo mobile application, and any other services provided by Igglo related to it (together “Services”). Igglo’s Services are not intended for concluding lease agreements between landlords and tenants, and any such agreements will be concluded separately.

Subject to your acceptance of these Terms, you may download, install, access or use the Services. These Terms affect your legal rights and obligations, so if you do not agree to the Terms, you may not use the Services.

Igglo’s Services are not intended for users who have not reached the age of majority in their country of residence.

Igglo’s Privacy Policy (available here http://igglo.com/legal/privacy_policy/) helps you understand what personal data and non-personal data Igglo collects, and how such data is used. You agree to read Igglo’s Privacy Policy which explains what type of information Igglo collects and how we use that information, including, without limitation, how such information is shared with third parties. Although Igglo’s Privacy Policy is not part of these Terms, and creates no contractual obligations to you, it contains information that you should review prior to using the Services. However, Igglo’s Privacy Policy will apply to the information we collect, whether or not you choose to read it.

When you access the Services through a mobile network, your network or roaming provider’s messaging, data and other rates and fees will apply. Downloading, installing or using the Services may be prohibited or restricted by your network provider and the some or all parts of the Services may not work with your network provider or device.

You may not sell, transfer, rent or give away your right to use and access the Services.

Without limiting any other remedies, Igglo may limit, suspend, terminate, modify, or delete access to the Services or parts thereof if you fail to comply, or if Igglo suspects such failure, with the Terms or for any actual or suspected illegal or improper use of the Services, without notice to you.
